用C ++整数读取和写入文件

Question

I have a piece of code to write elements of an array to a file (serialize) and then read it back (deserialize) Here it is :

#include<stdio.h>

void serialize(int *arr,int n,FILE *fp)
{
    int i=0;
    for( ; i<=n-1 ; i++)
        fprintf(fp,"%d ",arr[i]); // The elements of array go into the file
}

void deserialize(FILE *fp)
{
    int temp;
    while(1)
    {
        if(fscanf(fp,"%d",&temp))
            printf("%d ",temp);        // The Contents of file tree.txt are written to console
        else
            break;
    }
}


int main()
{
    int arr[] = {20,8,-1,-1,22,-1,-1};

    FILE *fp = fopen("tree.txt", "w");
    if (fp == NULL)
    {
        puts("Could not open file");
        return 0;
    }
    serialize(arr,n, fp);
    fclose(fp);

    fp = fopen("tree.txt", "r");
    deserialize(fp);
    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

How to achieve this using the objects ofstream and ifstream in C++?

Answer 1

object streams operator overloading requires to provide an overload for a given type. Which means you need to wrap your custom array, for instance like

struct my_array
{
   int *arr;
   int n;
};

and then define the overloads

std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const my_array& foo)
{
   //same as serialize
   int i=0;
   for( ; i<=foo.n-1 ; i++)
      os << foo.arr[i];
   return os;
}

std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& is, my_array& dt)
{
    //do something 
    return is;
}

There is an issue with your code. serialization and deserialization are not strictly inverse operations. This is due to the fact that when reading you have no clue on how many values you are supposed to read. Thus trying to serialize your data and then something else and read back will always fail.

fstream s;
my_array a;
bar b;
s << a << b;
...
my_array x;
bar y;
s >> x >> y; //endof, failbit set

Here not only y ! = b y ! = b , but x != a . To add insult to the injury, the content of both x and y will be different depending on whether you are c++11 or not .

You can use other approach: ostream_iterator and istream_iterator

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>

int main(int, char **)
{
  int arr[] = {20,8,-1,-1,22,-1,-1};

  // write to console
  std::copy(arr, arr + 7, std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));

  // write on file
  std::cout << std::endl << "Writing on file" << std::endl;

  std::ofstream myOfile("./out.dat");

  if (myOfile.is_open())
  {
    std::ostream_iterator<int> out_iter(myOfile, " ");
    std::copy(arr, arr + 7, out_iter);

    myOfile.close();
  }

  // read from file
  std::cout << std::endl << "Reading from file" << std::endl;

  std::ifstream myIfile("./out.dat");

  if (myIfile.is_open())
  {
    std::copy(std::istream_iterator<int>(myIfile),
              std::istream_iterator<int>(),
              std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));

    myIfile.close();
  }

  return 0;
}
